She's standing by her man!

Gigi Hadid took to Twitter to gush about boyfriend Zayn Malik's bravery after the "Pillow Talk" crooner was overwhelmed with anxiety and forced to cancel his UK concert, and it sounds like she knows a lot more than we do about the British singer's daily struggles.

"Z - I’ve seen the battles you go through and the way you fight to get to a place that allows you to get up there for your fans. Your bravery in those times makes me proud, but your honesty last night proved what you’re all about, being real. Human recognizes human. You made the best of the situation and have given your fans an opportunity to understand you better as a performer. Those who can find compassion now are the ones that deserve to watch you continue to grow," she wrote on Sunday.

"We are all here to support you and make each experience easier. Your talent and good heart will never lead you wrong. Love you and so proud of you always :) xG," she added.

Just one day prior, the former boybander pulled out of the Capital Summertime Ball, citing the “worst anxiety" of his career. He must have some serious stage fright!

That's one fierce family!

Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner rocked some serious street style to dine with father Caitlyn Jenner on Sunday night, who outfitted herself in a swanky ensemble, at Nobu in Malibu.

For the outing, Kendall donned a leather jacket, ripped jeans and black ankle boots. Kylie had all eyes on her with her gold-colored bomber jacket by Fear of God, which retails for $1095. This is definitely a different look than the one she Instagramed yesterday, showing off her round booty and her Dachsund, Ernie.

For the dinner, Caitlyn went super glam with her white jacket and billowing black-and-white pants. What a gorgeous trio!

The gals drove separately -- Kylie in her fire-engine red Rolls Royce and Caitlyn in her purple Porsche. These two ladies sure do love to ride around in a fancy whip!

After the dinner, Cailtyn spotted David Foster and had a little chat with the music man -- we can only assume the two were discussing their mutual ex wife, Linda Thompson! Oh how wild!

Interestingly enough, Ky didn't want the evening to stop ... after dinner with the gals, she met up with Khloe Kardashian's ex boyfriend French Montana at The Nice Guy. Guess there's no bad blood there!

Posted on Mon Jun 13th, 2016 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West jetted off to Paris on Sunday, but before making it in the terminal at Los Angeles International Airport, our photographers got a word in with the rapper.

When Yeezy was asked what he thought about the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday night, he replied, "It's horrible." For her part, Kim posted a long note on Twitter which read, "I'm truly at a loss for words. To everyone in Orlando affected by this massacre, my thoughts, love, & prayers are with u ❤️💛💚💙💜. Under current federal law people on terror watch lists can legally buy guns – this is called the Terror Gap. We have repeatedly called on Congress to close this loophole that makes it easy for dangerous people to get guns & kill. Nothing has changed!!!! People continue to senselessly die. When will these gun laws be changed?!?!?!?!!!!?????"

After celebrating their wedding anniversary in Europe, Kimye and their two kids jetted off to an undisclosed tropical location to celebrate the rapper's 39th birthday, but it looks like this latest trip is minus Nori and Saint.

 

Tony Awards Dedicate Tonight's Ceremony To Orlando Shooting Victims

Posted on Sun Jun 12th, 2016 8:40pm PDT       By X17 Staff


The 2016 Tony Awards have been dedicated to the victims of the tragic Orlando nightclub shooting.

Just before the ceremony, Tony Award Productions announced that the annual ceremony will honor the victims, as there is a close relationship between Broadway and the LGBT community. “Our hearts are heavy for the unimaginable tragedy that happened last night in Orlando,” the statement read. “Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those affected. The Tony Awards dedicate tonight’s ceremony to them.”

50 people were killed and at least 50 more were injured when Omar Mateen opened fire inside of Pulse nightclub in Orlando on Saturday night. It is the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, and police have labeled it as an "act of terrorism."

Tonys host James Corden honored the victims when he opened the show. "People all around the world are trying to come to terms with the horrific events that took place in Orlando this morning," he began. "On behalf of the whole theater community and every person in this room, our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity. All we can say is you are not on your own right now. Your tragedy is our tragedy. Theater is a place where every race, creed, sexuality and gender is equal, is embraced and is loved. Hate will never win. Together, we have to make sure of that. Tonight's show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle. This is the Tony Awards."

A number of celebrities have taken to social media to express their feelings of outrage and sadness, and at the show, Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda broke down into tears as he read a sonnet he wrote honoring the victims. After accepting the award for Best Original Score, Miranda read:
    "My wife's the reason anything gets done / She nudges me towards promise by degrees / She is a perfect symphony of one / Our son is her most beautiful reprise / We chase the melodies that seem to find us / Until they're finished songs and start to play / When senseless acts of tragedy remind us / That nothing here is promised, not one day / This show is proof that history remembers / We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger / We rise and fall and light from dying embers / Remembrances that hope and love last longer / And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love / Cannot be killed or swept aside / I sing Vanessa's symphony, Eliza tells her story / Now fill the world with music, love and pride."

Selena Gomez Breaks Down Into Tears During Christina Grimmie Tribute

Posted on Sun Jun 12th, 2016 11:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


Selena Gomez performed in Miami on Saturday night, and the singer broke down into tears when she paid tribute to her late friend, Christina Grimmie.

YouTube star Grimmie, who was also a finalist on The Voice, was shot and killed after her concert in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, June 10. Grimmie was signing autographs at the Plaza Live Theater when a man, now identified as Kevin James Loibl, 27, walked up and shot her.

Gomez dedicated "Nobody" to Grimmie when she took the stage at the American Airlines Arena, and after her teary performance, she apologized to the crowd and sat down at the piano. "When she was 14, we met her – my parents and I signed her," Gomez told the audience. "And one thing about Christina and her family, is that she holds her faith so closely to her. It's not about her religion, and it's not about good deeds. It's just that she had faith. And I don't really understand how this happened, but I would like to dedicate this next song to her."

Gomez's stepfather, Brian Teefey, became Grimmie's manager after discovering the rising star on YouTube, and in 2011, Grimmie opened for Gomez on the North American leg of the "We Own the Night" tour. On Saturday morning, Gomez tweeted the below of herself and Grimmie:



In other tragic news, 50 people have now been confirmed dead after a gunman opened fire at Pulse, a popular Orlando nightclub, which is the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

Police say the shooter, Omar Saddiqui Mateen, opened fire just after 2 a.m. EST, and after engaging in a shoot out with police, Mateen was killed after 5 a.m. An FBI source told People that the shooter spoke with a 911 operator during his attack, pledging allegiance to ISIS and mentioning the Tsarnaev brothers, who orchestrated the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013. In a speech on Sunday afternoon, President Barack Obama stated, "We know enough to say this was an act of terror and an act of hate ... The FBI is appropriately investigating this as an act of terror," he said. "We will go wherever the facts lead us ... What is clear is he was a person filled with hatred."

 

Kim Kardashian Shamelessly Promotes Hubby Kanye West's Clothing With Sexy Swimsuit Selfie

Posted on Sun Jun 12th, 2016 10:49am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kim Kardashian looooves showing off her post-baby body, and seeing as she looks like a total pinup, we're totally on board with this! Of course, it's a wee bit tacky that she's promoting husband Kanye West's clothing line, but her caption ("The Wife of Pablo") kinda made us crack up...

Over the weekend the 35-year-old reality starlet posted the photo above on Instagram, and it appears as though it was snapped on her recent getaway with Yeezy and the kids. After celebrating their wedding anniversary in Europe, the family jetted off to an undisclosed tropical location to celebrate the rapper's 39th birthday.

"Happy birthday to my best friend! I usually would be scared for us getting older but as each year passes, I'm just happy we have more time on this earth together," Kim wrote in a recent social media post dedicated to her hubs. "I love you so much and hope this year brings you so much happiness."

West has confirmed that he'll go on tour to promote his latest album, and while Kim and the kids will likely be joining him for some dates, we have a feeling the fam wanted to spend some quality time together before he hits the road...

 

Cody Simpson And A Pal Ride Around Town In A Sweet Vintage Whip

Posted on Sun Jun 12th, 2016 10:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


Cody Simpson and a male pal went to the Nice Guy in Hollywood on Friday evening, and it looks like the two had a blast on their boys' night out. Cody was behind the wheel of his immaculately restored 1962 Ford Falcon Squire Wagon, which he's had (and been obsessed with) for about six months now.

Last we heard, Cody was dating model/actress Sierra Swartz, but we haven't seen the Aussie singer and his latest flame together in a few weeks. After their love fest at Coachella, we're wondering if things fizzled out? We checked out her Instagram, and it seems like the only thing she's been posting photos of are her boobs and summer outfits...

 

Zayn Malik Cancels U.K. Concert Due To Severe Anxiety

Posted on Sun Jun 12th, 2016 9:50am PDT       By X17 Staff

Zayn Malik cancelled his appearance at the Capital Summertime Ball at the Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday due to anxiety, he shared on Twitter.

"To all those people who have been waiting to see me perform at the Capital Summertime Ball today," the singer wrote in a lengthy Twitter message. "I flew into the UK last night to appear in my home country in front of my family, friends, and most importantly my UK fans. Unfortunately my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me … with the magnitude of the event, I have suffered the worst anxiety of my career. I cannot apologize enough but I want to be honest with everyone who has patiently waited to see me, I promise I will do my best to make this up to everybody I've let down today. I know those who suffer anxiety will understand. And I hope those who don't can empathize with my situation."

Interestingly enough, former fiancee Perrie Edwards and her band, Little Mix, performed at the show. Lately the former One Direction star's love life has been a bit of a roller coaster, having split from girlfriend Gigi Hadid, only to get back together about a week later. The two were photographed holding hands in New York City on Friday night, so it appears as though Zayn is hanging in there.
